Chuck was a good friend of mine we had some of the same things in common. I meet Chuck at a yard sale he was having about 7 years ago and we became good friends. It was a shock to learn of this news. RIP

Carolyn and family:

I'm so saddened to learn of Chuck's passing. You all danced many a night when Tommie and I were playing. I later enjoyed trading guns with Chuck. We're traveling so I 'm sending this from my iPad. We should return to Lubbock about 10/22.

I'm reminded of a thing I read once in a funeral program and I think it is appropriate for Chuck. "Don't cry because I died, laugh because I lived".

Please know that you have my most sincere sympathy,

Ken Doshier
